The biological dad of Cleo Smith has posted a heartwarming note to his front home hours after his daughter was found alive and well.
The four-year-old was reunited with her family on Wednesday, 18 days after she vanished from their tent at a remote campsite 75km north of her hometown of Carnarvon in Western Australia.
Cleo's biological dad Daniel Staines lives with his parents 1000km south of Carnarvon.
He has put up a 'Welcome Home Cleo' sign featuring a blue love heart on the front door of his Halls Head home located 77km south of Perth.
